A
dark chocolate bar, plain and simple. When I ask people what's their
favourite candy, some people actually tell me that they don't really
like sweets. I'm shocked by this response, but often I find out that
although they don't like candy, the exception is dark chocolate. Dark
chocolate seems to be the treat that bridges gaps between candy fans
and candy haters. I can see why, dark chocolate, while a little bit
sweet, isn't sickly sweet. It has a slight bitterness that many non-candy
eaters really like. I'll be honest, my favourite chocolate is milk
chocolate, but I do appreciate a good dark chocolate bar now and again.

This bar is OK in the scale
of dark chocolate. I've had some fine dark chocolates that have a
much richer taste and that don't rely on sugar to cut through the
bitterness of the chocolate. This bar seems a little too afraid to
go really dark, so they seem to ad more sugar than most fine dark
chocolate treats. For me, being a fan of milk chocolate, I don't really
mind this; some dark chocolate purists might not like this however.

The chocolate itself is
tempered fairly well. It has a nice snap, and melts in your mouth
fairly easily. I would rate this bar as being an average dark chocolate
bar, I've tasted better dark chocolate, but I've tasted many dark
bars that are much worse. If you're looking to fill that dark chocolate
craving, this is a great bar for you.
